Apple Watch support adds a companion timer on your wrist - quick taps and swipes for start/pause and reset, optional duration presets (including custom times when not locked to your iPhone), haptics for the final countdown, and sync with your iPhone when it’s connected. Set the timer for 40 seconds, 60 seconds, or your own custom time - perfect for both standard and tournament play. Optional audio, vibration, and screen colour changes notify you at the halfway point, so you’re always aware of the countdown. Need an extra warning?
